Best Practices in Distance Learning: Choices, Challenges, and Creative Moments
NDEO Session Overview:
Minnesota has a long history of solid work in dance education including the growing use of distance learning tools such as video conferencing and online exemplars over the past ten years. We are keenly interested in how the technology affects teaching and learning, and in how this influences our work as teachers and teaching artists. Come investigate this topic from the inside experience of an interactive video conference on Harlem Renaissance dances, followed by a facilitated discussion of the pedagogy.
Presenters:
Diane Aldis, State Dance Education Coordinator / Distance Learning Initiatives, Perpich Center for Arts Education (Minnesota)
Jessi Kolodziej, Education Associate, Cowles Center for Dance & the Performing Arts (Minneapolis, MN)
Christopher Yaeger, Teaching Artist, Minnesota
Essential Questions:
What student needs are we trying to meet?
How do we use technology to support teaching and learning in dance?
What are the best practices in interactive dance sessions ?
Session Goals:
We will model and identify best practices in K-16 dance video conferencing including:
Pre-planning
Interaction (student <-> student and students <-> teaching artist)
New practices that may surface from the group discussion
